mmmm, basement countach

[MaxPower]

I'm extremely hesitant to do mods to my bike that take more than an afternoon.  Hats off to this dude.

My guess would be that the fact that it was in the (nice and warm?) basement was the only reason this project got completed.

"Just going to pop down to the basement for a second sweetie!"
<4 hours later>
"Sorry about that, got sucked into something!"

Crikeys man... that is a cool looking beast.

[Speedbag]

Wow. Just wow. 

Talk about a fabricator. That body shell is a masterpiece.

The whole project is quite a piece of work. 

I wonder what the 'learning curve' was like?

No kidding.

Kickass powerplant too. Had one of those in a drag car back in the '90s making about the same power.

It takes so much more skill to copy something of that caliber than it does just to create something on its own,  not to mention the frame was obviously a custom design.  Common sense and planning don't even figure into something like that.  It's obvious that he would have taken the car apart piece by piece if he had to to get it out of that basement.  Absolutely make the beast with two backsing brilliant.

I would be happy with just the plywood frame he used to bend the sheet metal - it would make a cool ornament for the driveway!

it might weigh too much and be a bit wide to get through the slalom section.

In hindsight, maybe I was a bit too critical. It takes much more skill and patience than I have!

[Monsterlover]

I like it a lot.

He did a great job.

Others see lack of common sense. . .

i see enormous drive, motivation and dedication.  He knew all along he'd have to destroy part of his house to get that thing out.

He's the man

Amazing f-ing car, wrecked basement/house, still (presmably) married...

My hat's off to the guy.

[Buckethead]

Can you imagine the conversation he had to have with the wife?

"Honey, you know that project I've been working on for the last, like, decade?"

"Yes, dear? What about it?"

"Well, in order for it to mean anything, we're going to have to destroy part of the house."

"..."

"Once the car's out, I'll have plenty of space to put a couch. For me to sleep on. Forever."

i think he should have just added a secondary entrance. i mean he already has the hole there.
